Four TOGAF misconceptions and the lighter-weight reality that repairs each

Each column pairs a belief that breaks practice, in red on top, with the repair that fixes it, in blue below, naming the publication that backs the repair.

Read each column top to bottom: the myth above, then the repair beneath it. The common thread is that TOGAF is tailored to the work, not obeyed wholesale.

Four TOGAF misconceptions and the lighter-weight reality that repairs each Four comparison columns, each pairing a TOGAF misconception in a red top band with its repair in a blue band below, joined by a downward arrow labelled repair. One, how much to produce: the myth that every artefact is required every time, repaired by C220, produce only what stakeholders need. Two, how heavy it is: the myth that TOGAF is too heavyweight, repaired by G20F, the ADM is tailorable. Three, who it is for: the myth that only big firms fit, repaired by G20F, scale to the work. Four, governance: the myth that every change goes to the board, repaired by C220, route only cross-domain change. A closing note gives the thread: TOGAF is tailored to the work, not obeyed wholesale.
